Definition

Quarks are fundamental particles that make up protons and neutrons in atoms. They are the building blocks of matter, and there are six types, or "flavors," of quarks: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. Quarks have a property called "color charge," which is similar to electric charge but for the strong nuclear force.
